Geku - by 河鍋暁斎 Kawanabe Kyosai
quote
The Grand Shrines of Ise are known for the ten betsugū of the Inner Shrine (Naikū (内宮)
and the four of the Outer Shrine (Gekū);
these detached shrines possess a unique relationship to the rituals or objects of worship (saijin) of the main shrines, and are thus given the title of gū (originally a "palace," a term reserved for shrines of particularly high status). These shrines are also rebuilt every twenty years in the same manner as the regular removals (shikinen sengū ) of the main shrines.

The official name of the Geku is Toyoukedaijingu.
The kami of the Geku is Toyouke Omikami, who is responsible for the food of Amaterasu Omikami. She is also the kami for food, clothing, and shelter.
The Geku was founded about 1500 years ago. The 21th Emperor Yuryaku had a dream of Amaterasu Omikami in which the deity revealed that she could not properly secure her meals and therefore asked the Emperor to bring Toyouke Omikami from Tanba (currently, northern part of Kyoto prefecture) to take care of her food. After awaking from the dream, the Emperor Yuryaku took to heart what he had heard from Amaterasu Omikami, built a magnificent dwelling place and brought Toyouke Omikami here. This was the founding of the Geku.
Since then, for about 1500 years, Toyouke Omikami has been serving the meals to Amaterasu Omikami, in what is called the Higoto-Asayu-Omikesai, a ceremony distinctive to the Geku. Throughout the year, the rites at the Geku are conducted in the same way as at the Naiku.

quote
The official name of Naiku is Kotaijingu. 皇大神宮
The main deity is Amaterasu Omikami, the ancestor of the Imperial Family and the tutelary kami of the Japanese people. Naiku was founded about 2000 years ago. Worship of Amaterasu Omikami was conducted by the first ten Emperors within the Imperial Palace in Yamato. At the age of Emperor Sujin the country was struck by severe epidemics and numerous other disasters. Therefore, the Emperor gave Princess Toyosukiirihime-no-mikoto an order to remove Amaterasu Omikami from the Imperial Palace and worship her at another place. Consequently, Amaterasu Omikami was enshrined at a location in the eastern Nara Basin.
Next emperor Suinin gave Princess Yamatohime-no-mikoto an order to find the most suitable permanent location to hold ceremonies for Amaterasu Omikami. The princess left Yamato, arriving finally at Ise after having wandered through the regions of Ohmi and Mino. At Ise, she heard the voice of Amaterasu Omikami, saying "I wish to live forever here in Ise, where the wind of kami blows, the country blessed with the rich resources of the mountains and the sea." Yamatohime-no-mikoto decided to build a magnificent sanctuary at Ise to hold ceremonies for Amaterasu Omikami forever. This was the beginning of Naiku. Ever since, for 2000 years, Amaterasu Omikami has been worshiped in Ise by the Japanese people and the Emperor, in ceremonies led by the Jingu Shinto priests.
